Yes, our robot is top heavy, please come tip us over! Pleeeeeeease! :eek:

We suffer from slight topheavyness. Actually its pretty bad. Since we have a rotating turret... Slam it forward with two tetras on the hook and none on the base we come within 2 inches of going past our CG. Luckily with some 8 1/2 lb tetras on our base for most of the match, we should be okay.

Ours is only top heavy once the tetra is being lifted past 2.5m or so. At that point it only risks tipping over if our arm's operator swings it all the way back randomly O_O (which he would know well enough NOT to do).

With our arm completely extended with a vision tetra on the end I was doing donuts and trying my hardest to tip her over didn't happen.

Our robot is definately not top heavy. After the start of the match we crawl down the wall so we are only 28" high, 38" wide, and 60" long. even with the arm on it fully extend we stay solid on the ground. From previous years I learned about being top heavy.
